Newbie, first workout today
Newbie, first workout today
Hey folks,
I've lurked for a while, bought a sledge months ago, but just finally did my first shovelglove workout today. I'm breaking myself in easily, so I only did 5 minutes this first day, just shoveling, chopping wood and churning butter. I have a slight right wrist injury that doesn't bother me in these exercises, but I can't do flip lever yet until it heals.
Anyway, glad to be here, and I'm really looking forward to progressing and getting in better shape!
Cheers,
Liam

Thanks folks! Have worked up to 10 minutes now, shoveling, chopping wood, churning butter.
Also added a movement to target my triceps that I call "Scratch your back." I have no idea if it's new or not. I start with my arms extended over my head holding the sledge by the end of the handle, with the head of the sledge behind my back. Then I lower the sledge by bending at the elbows, letting the sledge handle rub between my shoulderblades, then re-extend my arms to lift the sledge. Seems to work really well, so far at least.
Very happy so far, and looking forward to continuing and working up to the full 14 minutes.
Cheers,
Liam
